Communications, Advertising Major from April 2024
My love for advertising started at a young age.
When I was in elementary school, I decided to run for student council. I quickly realized that if I wanted to win, I had to capture my classmate’s attention and make sure they couldn’t forget me. I did some crazy things including dressing up like advertising icon Billy Mayes and performing an infomercial in front of my school to tell them why they should vote for me (and I won!). That early lesson in advertising sparked something in me and I found a way to fan the flame here at BYU.
The advertising program has changed my life in so many ways. Not only do I get to pursue a career I love, but I get to dream big! The advertising program has given me some incredible experiences and tools to go out and be successful. I’m so grateful for my experience and I can’t wait to see where it takes me!" —Alli Trendler, BA in Communications, Advertising
